Drip-feed discipline

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom personal equity plans (Peps) provide tax advantages for investors, and are more accessible through regular savings schemes. Investors can put as little as a monthly 20 pounds sterling and gain stock market exposure. Regular savings schemes help offset volatility in stock prices and can allow investors to select funds in a more adventurous way. The contribution level can also be varied with no penalty being incurred, and investors can also suspend payments if they have achieved a set amount.

Getting its AITC together

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom Association of Investment Trust Companies (AITC) has informed the government about reservations for a planned change to tax benefits for savings. The proposed limit of 50,000 for the new Individual Savings Accounts is not high enough, and there should be a greater incentive for low-paid savers to use the new accounts. The AITC has been criticised on issues of corporate governance and investment trusts, though the AITC is not a regulatory body and has limited powers.

Staged performance

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom personal equity plans (Peps) offer tax advantages, and capital secured Peps can offer a guarantee that the capital at least will be returned to investors. Companies listed in Dublin, Ireland, where there are flexible rules, have been used for this type of Pep. Derivatives provide the security that capital is not eroded. This type of investment is suitable for investors who are cautious, and those who have made gains from risks and wish to reduce their risk levels.
